Whether it is sleeping

Still sober

I am willing to give everything for their children

A few days ago, a post -90s mother in Guangzhou donated her 4 centimeters of iliac bones to treat her daughter with a thoracic tuberculosis.

Walk

The real murderer behind it is the tuberculosis

Xiaoyu (pseudonym) and lover worked in Guangzhou, because no one was taking care of Feifei, so she had to send her back to her hometown to take care of her grandma. In July 2021, Xiaoyu found that the child "had one foot while walking." I went to the local hospital for examination and found that the child's back vertebrae body was slightly protruding. The doctor thought that it might be caused by calcium deficiency. It is recommended to add calcium tablets to the child, expose the sun, and exercise in moderation.

However, more than two months later, Feifei was more and more serious. Sensitive parents took their children to the hospital for a full -body examination. MR prompted vertebral abscess. Considering the possibility of spine tuberculosis, it is recommended to take children to Guangzhou Cheung Hospital. Department (orthopedic) further diagnosis and treatment. Bleak

Bone planting rescue damage to the spine

After inspection, Fifi's vertebral structure has been destroyed by tuberculosis, causing the vertebral body to collapse, rear deformed of the thoracic vertebrae, and compression of the spinal cord. The spinal cord must be rescued by removing the lesion and then bone planting.

To do such bone implant surgery for children, a fresh bone needs to be taken from the parents and implanted the child's damaged vertebral body in order to ensure the success of the operation.

After learning about the surgical plan, Xiaoyu, a mother, was anxious and scared, but when she learned about the relevant successful cases, she resolutely said: "As a mother, I am willing to donate the bones on the body to save the child." ‍

Based on my bones, build your backbone

On the day of the surgery, the doctor took out a piece of iliac bone about 4 cm in size from the right side of the small feather to repair it according to the size and form of the child's vertebral defect. Children's vertebral body.

To ensure that the bone implantation does not shift, the doctor has internal fixation to create a stable healing environment for it. After more than three hours of the medical staff for more than 3 hours, the operation was successfully completed.

Under the careful treatment and care of the medical staff, Feifei's wound healed well, and the lower limb function gradually recovered. He could get out of bed quickly.

"During the whole treatment, I have been with her, and my child's optimism and strength are infected with me!" Xiaoyu said.

It is reported that Fipi needs to continue to treat anti -tuberculosis after surgery. The doctor said that after a certain period of consolidation treatment, as the child continues to improve and stabilizes, anti -tuberculosis drugs can be gradually discontinued.

The situation of tuberculosis prevention and control is not optimistic

Although the people around the world's efforts to fight against the new crown epidemic are still underway, the problem that cannot be ignored is that the chronic infectious disease that has long -term trouble in humanity is still one of the major public health issues facing the world.

According to the "Global Tuberculosis Report of 2021" recently released by WHO, the number of new patients with global tuberculosis in 2020 was 9.87 million, and the estimated incidence continued to show a downward trend. The spread of new crown pneumonia's popularity caused the medical treatment of patients with tuberculosis to a significant decrease in medical treatment. A large number of patients with tuberculosis were not diagnosed and treated in time, resulting in the number of tuberculosis deaths from 1.408 million in 2019 to 1.494 million in 2020. This is the past 15 years. For the first time, according to the model estimation, the global tuberculosis prevention and control caused by the new crown pneumonia 5 to 8 years.

The spine tuberculosis is a secondary disease. The primary disease is tuberculosis, gastrointestinal tuberculosis or lymphatic tuberculosis, etc., and bone and joint tuberculosis are caused by blood circulation pathway. The disease is slow, with symptoms such as low fever, fatigue, weight loss, night sweats, appetite, anemia, and pain. Children often have symptoms such as night crying, dullness, or irritability. Pain is often the first symptom. Usually mild pain, the symptoms are reduced after rest, and they worsen after they are tired.

Compared with adults, although the incidence of children's spine tuberculosis is not high, the vertebral abscess, collapse, malformations, diffusion, and compression of spinal cord after infection will increase sexual aggravation, which will cause high risk of paraplegia. Therefore, early discovery and early treatment.
